Home of Tool Engineering!
Polymer School offers training in the following areas. After 36 years in the plastics industry and decades of teaching experience, we have assembled one of the best training modules in the industry. We can train at your facility or our partner facility in North Carolina, which is fully equipped with machines and labs for practical training.
We customize according to your needs. First, in plastics education, the case-study method is used in our training. All courses are in-person sessions at our partner facility in North Carolina, USA, or your location of choice. Our instructors have at least 25 years of experience in their respective fields and professional or institutional teaching experience.
No one offers a complete course under one-roof for plastics engineers or tool engineers like us!
We just don’t train; we make students to THINK & APPLY
